Description: Opercularia coarctata. Transmission electron micrograph of contracted cell body. This ciliate does not have rows of basal body/cilia over its whole surface but has cilia in the oral region and in a trochal band area. The pellicle is sculpted into ridges and grooves that circle the body. A layer of endoplasmic reticulum lies under the pellicle next to a layer of myonemal fibers. The macronucleus, contractile vacuole, mitochondria, and peristomeare evident in this view. TEM taken on 6/12/69 by R. Allen with Philips 300 operating at 60kV. Neg. 4,270X. Bar = 1µm.
